Sun is all fun and games – when you do the proper care

Do you remember those times when you were a teenager and your mother would chase you with sun protection cream? You would run from her using the logic “don’t put so much, I want to get a tan”.

Well, I sure hope those days are behind all of us.

Luckily, current trends got us obsessed with proper care and cosmetics, so I will just refresh your memory on which care and which products are your best friend for this summer.

Number one: How to look like a Goddess on the Beach?

You have probably read many plans on how to get that Beach Body ready ASAP, but I guarantee you, Hairshop way is the quickest – it only takes 5 minutes and 3 steps:

Step 1: Get a body. Oh, wait, you already have that. Let’s move on to…

Step 2: Get a swimsuit. Follow our guide for which type of body requires which swimsuit:

Curvy body – the swimsuit with ruched design is the perfect fit

Thin body – the swimsuit with busy prints and ruffles to create illusion of curves is the perfect fit.

Bloated stomach – the swimsuit with banded or tighter center and V-cut top is the perfect fit.

Cellulite – the swimsuit high waisted and high cut legs is the perfect fit, but by summer you won’t have any cellulite anymore as you’re using Birdie Say Goodbye supplement

You get my point, so let’s move on to the final step…

Step 3: Look in the mirror – there you go, you are a beach-ready Goddess looking just as you do.

Number two: Take care of your skin – she remembers everything

Did you also fall into that common misconception thinking that the higher the SPF factor number, the more slowly you get a tan? I was so surprised when I learned that the higher the SPF factor number the longer your skin is protected – it has nothing to do with how tanned you will be, only how much time you will be safe before turning red. So, get that high SPF all over you Goddess body. And don’t forget – even when you are not on the beach, put sun protection on your face and neck, they are the most exposed.

For best tanning help we recommend Beauty Bear Tan or Birdie Sweet Sun supplements, they taste like delicious peach, protect your skin from sunburns and give you a beautiful, long lasting tan.

Number three: Hairshop’s favorite topic – best hair protection

Just like men, the best hair products are the ones who got it all, and protect you from everything.

Go to Hairshop’s page “protect my hair from the sun” and check out amazing lines of products from different brands like Kérastase, Davines, Schwarzkopf Professional and Alterego.

And how do they protect the hair, you ask?

1. They contain UVB and UVA protection shields

2. the Shampoos will soften your hair and are especially made to clean your hair from sand & salt

3. the masks are there to deeply nourish your deshydrated hair from the sun

The only green thing I want to see this summer are palm trees – not my hair.  

If you decide on the pool and not the sea, beware of the chlorine. You didn’t spend all those hours taking care of your hair only for it to turn Grinch-green after one swim.  All sun-protection products contain ingredients that keep your hair safe from chlorine. But just as a precaution – don’t pool-dive too much, there’s nothing to see down there anyway.

Salt loves the skin… Hair, not so much.

If you prefer seaside to pool parties than you probably know that saltwater is extremely skin friendly – it helps with acne, skin infections and speeds up all healing processes. Unfortunately, the hair doesn’t get the same spa treatment. Hair colors fade away, the hair looks damaged and becomes knotty and tangled. All in all, without sun care products, it is not a pretty picture. You can use pigmented masks, they exist in all colors from Maria Nila to refresh your color and hydrate your hair.
